Calling All Regencycore Fans: Stradivarius Has Collaborated With Bridgerton – And You Can Shop The Collection Right Now

It's finally March 25, which means one thing and one thing only: Bridgerton is back. And to get you in the mood for more exploits of a bodice-ripping nature, Stradivarius is the latest brand to launch a collaboration with the show. Bridgerton at Stradavarius does have bodices - several, in fact, but they're less raunchy and more regal, in a pastel colour palette that fans will recognise from the first time round. They come with matching flared trousers for a modern update on costume dressing that would do very well for Secret Cinema.

The Bridgertondresses - with their flattering square necks and capped shoulders - went down famously well after season one ('Regencycore' immediately started trending as shoppers added empire-line frocks, elbow-length gloves and vintage tea sets to their baskets). Stradivarius' collection has several that would suit Daphne Bridgerton, or indeed Kate Sharma, this season's heroine - and there's nothing period drama about them.

I love the white square-necked midi dress, with a playful slit up one leg, bows at the shoulders and embroidered blossoms. There's also a bodice dress in duck egg blue that's splashed with pink flowers and comes with criss-cross lacing. And last but not least, a pistachio-coloured dress with capped sleeves (tick!) and a cropped length that would certainly raise eyebrows in the 19th century.
